This is a Hercules alto saxophone stand, a type that folds up and can be stored in the instrument's bell. I purchased it new about two years ago. I used it regularly for about two years after that, but there are no noticeable scratches, stains, or malfunctions, and it can be used without any problems. Please understand that there is some wear and tear. I would appreciate it if you could check the images. I will ship it in the original box from when it was new.
